I would LOVE to be at your Atlanta workshop. I have been following your posts constantly and love your ideas of decorating and using items you’ve been “hangin on to”. My husband would like to park our cars BACK into the garage once I use all the things I have “saved”.
Please rescue me for the day on March 16th!

So glad that you’re headed to the Atlanta area; love your website and all your creative ideas; you are truly an inspiration! Hopefully, I can meet you that weekend. Certainly would love, love to win the give-away! See you there!

This would be the perfect mother-daughter day out! We’re planning to come anyway, whether we win this thing or not! How can I pass up the chance to learn from my favorite DIY blogger when you’re in town?? Thanks for coming our way! XOXO

I find great inspiration from your website. I would LOVE, LOVE, LOVE to attend your Atlanta workshop. This would make my year. Having a limited budget, I am forced to find innovative ways to decorate my home. Thank you so very much for sharing your ideas and talent with us.

Hi there. What an amazing giveaway! I signed up the moment they opened the class because my hubby eouldnt fly my out to Co in Dec when you were having the class there..boohoo. But was excited you are having onea bit closer to me..3 hrs is much much better than a plane ride.So iI’m bringing my mom as its her birthday on the 14th. 3 yrs ago I brought her to Atlantato Scott’s Antiques and we came for her bbirthday again but came home with more than furniture. …TATOOS! Yes , my straight laced, Bible belt and Christ follower convinced me to get matching cross tatoos. It was an amazing experience and hard to top…until now. Your class will be incredible and im super excited to meet you and share this special time with my best friend. It would just be the icing on the cake…literally if I coukd win our tickets. Then I could replace all my ‘chalk paint’ with MILK PAINT…yeah. Either way I win. The weekend eith my amazing mother and meeting snd learning from you.Cant wait. Ill be the one with the huge smile on my face….hehe..

Wow…it would be nice to attend this workshop. I have always been a DIY worker but milk painting is something new to me. This is one of the things I want to learn. I think this even is going to be great and worth the money considering the new things to learn. I would love to attend your workshop on March and I’m excited about it. This is just an opportunity I don’t want to miss. Thank you for this post.

My sister is in the area, and it would be a good time for a visit to see her. I cannot tell you how much I need a day like this. She and I would have a blast! I could bring your book that I have for you to sign. We are both now empty nesters, and what a great sisters day this would be!

So happy you are coming to Atlanta! Hope I win your giveaway tickets! It’s right before my & the hubs’ 28th wedding anniversary and we are hoping to go on a little getaway (only our second anniversary trip), so trying to save up for that. But, I couldn’t pass up a chance to enter to win. Would love to see you again and get a real hands-on experience with your paint; not to mention learning all your wonderful buying tips! Will bring my book along for the signing. Finished reading it for the second time last week while I was sick. Looking forward to doing some of the projects soon. Roswell is in for a treat having you there! Thanks for the doing the giveaway.

I just registered and am SOOOO excited to attend! We were blessed with a big, beautiful home 2 years ago, and I’m in the planning stages of PAINTING THE ENTIRE INTERIOR WITH MILK PAINT! I will be photographing the stages and can share them with you as I go if you’d like to see. I SO look forward to learning all I can learn from youin person!

You have also greatly inspired me and I’m going to be opening my own booth at our local antique store here in Marietta this summer and getting a website! Thank you, thank you, thank you, Marian for sharing your insight and expertise. It is because of you that I am gaining the courage to follow my heart.

Throw out the notion that good design is expensive, must be carried out by a professional and can only be bought in a fancy store. I live in a real home on a real budget and have never taken a design class in my life. A great look is affordable and attainable to anyone who is willing to roll up their sleeves and dive in. So, get ready to go junking, tune up the sewing machine, and buy a good paint brush. Your home's potential is waiting to be realized and you're the one who's going to discover it.
